Application filed December 9, 1919. Serial N0. 343,622.

(GRANTED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1921, 41 STAT. L, 1313.)

T all whom it may concern Be it known that I,v LEOPOLD BERKOVI, a

I subject of the King of England, residing at London, in the Kingdom of England, have invented new and useful Hair YVa-vers and Curlers (for whichI have filed application in England, April 18. 1917, Patent No.

113,544), of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to appliances for waving and curling hair, of the type which comprises a fiat bar and an elastic cord permanently attached to one end of said bar and adapted to be attached by its other end to the other end of said bar, and it consists of an improved construction which has for its object efliciency in action, lightness and comfort in use and simplicity of manu- -tacture. g

I attain this end by the construction shown in the accompanying drawing in which Figure l is a view showing the complete appliance; Fig. 2 is a view showing the appliance with the outer sheath removed, and Fig. 3 is a View showing the complete appliance with the elastic cord stretched in position.

Throughout the views similar parts are marked withlike letters of reference.

The improved appliance consists of a bar a. of any suitable material which is sufiiciently rigid to remain straight or flat when in use, of an elastic cord or band I) which is permanently attached at b to one end a of the bar a and is provided with a loop or ring 0 at its free end-said loop or ring being preferably of an elastic nature-Which is adapted to engage the other end a of the bar 66. Extending partly over both the bar a and the elastic cord or band I) is a sheath d of rubber or other suitable material, the length of said sheath being such that it will leave sufiicient of the end a of the bar aexposed to allow the hoop or ring 0 to engage it. the end of said sheath forming a shoulder against which the loop or ring 0 abuts, and at its other end (Z will cover the connection of the elastic cord or band I) with the bar (t. In use, the covering portion (Z of the sheath (Z folds over upon itself on-the end of the said bar a and thus prevents the hair of the user being entangled with the fastening loop.

I claim:

An appliance for waving and curling hair, comprising a straight fiat barand a circular perforation at one end of same, an elastic cord or band permanently attached to the perforated end of said bar, an elastic ring at the loose end of said cord, a sheath of flexible material applied to the perforated end of said bar and extending partly over said attached cord while leaving uncovered and forming shoulder at the opposite end of said bar, said'ring to fit the uncovered end of the bar and against the covering shoulder thereon, and a turned-over portion of said sheath to fold over upon itself at the attached end of said bar.
